- On page 301 of the _IM:OpenDoc Programmer's Guide_, there is a recipe for
- creating additional storage units.
-
- Here's what I'm unclear about. Should I call GetStrongStorageUnitRef every
- time I externalize my part, or should I save the strong reference and write
- the same thing to my main storage unit's value each time?
-
- Also, how/when do I dispose of the Strong Reference (i.e., if I no longer
- need it).
-
- The question is prompted by ODF's internalization/externalization model,
- which is geared toward doing it all at once, as opposed to on an as needed
- basis (as I understand it). But I guess I see no reason why an ODF Content
- object couldn't have access to the storage unit when needed.
